Siheyuan: I have a mental illness

Today, the steel mill is bustling with people! The reason is that today is a great day for distributing wages and benefits. Moreover, after today, the steel mill will officially start the annual holiday mode!

Look at the workers in the steel mills. Each of them looks like a brilliant flower blooming on their face. Their happy smiles are almost overflowing from their hearts. I haven't seen such a happy expression for a long time.

When the earth-shattering disaster struck, the common people couldn't even fill their stomachs, so how could they have the heart to laugh? But now it's different. Recently, the workers in the steel mill have been so happy every day.

Why? It’s because among the many factories in our city, the workers in the steel mills are among the rare ones who can eat well and have enough food! In this situation, how can they not be happy?

Look, today's workers are excited about the upcoming annual holiday on the one hand, and are also happy about the generous benefits they can receive on the other hand. More importantly, they are happy that they can fill their stomachs for many days in a row.

At this moment, Qin Huairu and Yu Li were waiting in line to receive their wages.

Yu Li approached Qin Huairu and asked in a low voice, "Huairu, when will Section Chief Ye come back to our courtyard? You haven't been back for quite a while. Xiao'e is looking forward to it so much that she is almost tired of it!"

Qin Huairu listened to Yu Li's words, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile as blooming as spring flowers, and said softly: "Of course I asked. Section Chief Ye said that we will not go back until the party held in the factory is over."

Yu Li, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when she heard this. She looked puzzled and asked, "But there is no one participating in the party here. Why do we have to wait until the party is over?"

Qin Huairu shook her head gently and said slowly: "Alas, what is Section Chief Ye thinking about? If he doesn't say it, who can know the reason? But...how about this, you and Haitang come to No. 95 Courtyard tonight?"

After listening to Qin Huairu's proposal, Yu Li thought for a moment, then waved her hand and shook her head to refuse: "Forget it, let's wait until you come back! Last time, it was because of Haitang that Xiao'e was left alone in that courtyard."

At this time, Qin Huairu was seen gently stroking her slightly bulging belly, with a happy smile on her face, and then she said: "When we meet Section Chief Ye later, we must persuade him well. It is not a solution to keep delaying and not going back. After all, Jingru alone may not be able to handle him."

Seeing this, Yu Li couldn't help but feel envious. She and Yu Haitang had accompanied Ye Fan countless times, but they still hadn't gotten pregnant. And just a few days ago, even Lou Xiao'e was surprised to find that she was pregnant.

In other words, except for Qin Jingru who was not pregnant, she and Yu Haitang, who were closest to Ye Fan, were not pregnant either.

Not long after, the sun shone on the ground, illuminating the faces of Qin Huairu and Yu Li, who were full of expectation and joy. The two walked side by side, holding tightly in their hands the wages and benefits they received from the steel mill. Although it was just a small piece of fresh pork and a small bag of white flour, for that era, these were enough for them to happily go home and make a delicious meat and egg dumpling.

Walking on the road leaving the steel mill, the breeze gently ruffled their hair. Qin Huairu pushed the women's bicycle that Ye Fan bought steadily with both hands, turned to Yu Li beside her and asked curiously: "Lili, why is Haitang not here today? She is never absent when she usually collects her salary!"

Yu Li frowned slightly and thought for a moment before answering softly, "Well... Section Chief Ye seemed to have come to the factory today. I guess Haitang is in Section Chief Ye's office right now."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu immediately understood why she didn't see Yu Haitang. It turned out that she went to Ye Fan's office to enjoy "happy time"! Thinking of this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile, then turned her eyes to Yu Li beside her and asked jokingly: "Lili, if that's the case, why don't you go over and join in the fun?"

When Yu Li heard this, her fair cheeks instantly flushed, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly and muttered softly, "Oh, I won't go! Have you forgotten how badly he tortured me last time?"

Seeing Yu Li's shy and lovely look, Qin Huairu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. Her laughter echoed in the air, as if even the air around her was infected by this joy.

In Ye Fan's office, the old coal stove was filled with coal by Ye Fan, and the fire was burning fiercely, warming the whole room. The flames jumped happily, as if they were cheering for this warm scene.

At this time, Yu Haitang's hair was a little messy, but it added a bit of charm. She lay on Ye Fan's broad chest like a lazy kitten, and her slender fingers gently drew circles on his strong chest muscles. Her rosy lips pouted slightly, and she said coquettishly: "Chief Ye, you haven't come back to visit us in the courtyard for a long time."

When Ye Fan heard this, a gentle smile appeared on his face. He gently patted Yu Haitang on the back and comforted her, "Okay, don't be angry. Isn't it almost the New Year? Everyone is very busy. But don't worry, after these few days, I will definitely accompany you well."

Yu Haitang raised her head, her watery eyes staring at Ye Fan's handsome face, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in her eyes. She frowned and asked, "When is that? Don't give me a perfunctory answer! I'm looking forward to your return every day." After a pause, she continued, "And I heard from Huairu that you actually took in the proprietress of the tavern. Humph, have you really forgotten us old loves because you have a new love?" As she spoke, she pouted her lips deliberately and made a pitiful look.

Ye Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing Yu Haitang's complaints, and quickly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of man?

It’s the New Year. Do you know how much work the Purchasing Department has to deal with?

Besides, I can’t run to that courtyard house every now and then!

After all, on the surface, No. 95 Siheyuan is my home."
